Alarm Timer

The K1 AV features an integral timer module (Timer), which can be used to switch on the Tuner source at a programmable time (Radio alarm clock)..

Programming the Timer

To program the Timer first select the TUNER as listening source. You now have to set up the K1 AV in the way in which you wish it to wake you (radio station, alarm volume, loudspeakers A or B). When the Timer is programmed, the K1 AV will use the current settings for its alarm.

To set the alarm time press the  button on the front panel. The screen now displays the current set alarm time, e.g. ‘14-38 TIM’; the word ‘TIM’ (TIMER) flashes.

Now you can set the alarm time using the VOLUME +/- buttons on the front panel. Holding the buttons pressed in increases the rate of change.

When the desired time is shown on the screen, hold the

button pressed in for about one second. The screen briefly shows the alarm time and ‘SET’ (instead of ‘TIM’), e.g. ‘14-38 SET’. The alarm timer is now switched on and active. The  symbol glows constantly on the screen to indicate that the alarm timer is active.

You can now switch the K1 AV off. As long as the  symbol is lit on the screen, the K1 AV will switch itself on at the set time.

ALARM - with automatic power-off

If the Timer is active, the K1 AV will be switched on at the programmed alarm time. The glowing symbol will flash when it is switched on.

The K1 AV switches itself off automatically one hour after the alarm has been triggered, unless the user has operated the unit in the meantime.

If the user operates the machine during this period (e.g. volume change or preset change), the glowing symbol ceases flashing. The timer now no longer switches itself off automatically after an hour. If you wish to switch the unit off, you must switch it off manually.

Switching the Timer off

If the Timer is active, it can be disabled by pressing the

button. The screen then briefly displays the message ‘ALARM OFF’.

In Stand-by mode the alarm time can be temporarily displayed on the screen with a brief press on the button (now not lit).

A long press (about one second) disables the Timer even in Stand-by mode; the screen briefly displays the message ‘ALARM OFF’.

In just the same way the Timer can also be switched on again in Stand-by mode. A long press (about one second) activates the Timer with the last-used settings, and the alarm time is displayed on the screen for about one second.

Special Tuner functions

Seldom needed special functions for the Tuner module are grouped together in a Setup menu (TUNER menu). These include the storing and erasure of presets.

Operating the Tuner menu

If you wish to alter the settings in the TUNER menu, you must first select TUNER as the listening source.

button on the remote control handset.
